    Does anybody use this once per year car polish anymore?

    Nu Finish Soft Paste (or liquid) "The Once A Year Car Polish"? I once had an 87 Pontiac STS (or STL...I forget) that I was pretty proud of and I used this product to protect my car. Little did i realize until about 4 years later that the paint had dried out and the paint became smeary and...

    Whats your favorite / go to interior detailer?

    Another vote for Blackfire...it's my replacement for McKee's which I've used for a couple of years.

    Fast Interior Detailer

    I agree with this. I really liked the McKees but since that ran out, I find the Blackfire to be equal.

    303 aerospace protectant

    I second one coat with microfiber sponge...and avoid touching any window. Wipe down is optional but I think that's dependent on the look you want and the type of surface. I think 303 is an awesome product and doesn't look oily. I apply it about 3-4x per year whenever it looks like it's dried...

    I'm well aware of those options, but as my post indicated I was merely venting.

    Shade Envy

    I really enjoy looking at the pictures that many members post of their rides following detailing. I note that most pics are indoors in a spacious environment, or outdoors in the shade. I'm envious. Ever since I moved three years ago, I have difficulty finding a good time to maintain my daily...

    A special trip and visit! Rev's Institute Car Collection

    At my brother-in-laws urging, who lives in Naples, he invited us to the museum. I was awestruck and had trouble which one or two I would like to take home with me. After checking with my broker, he told me that I should just leave without one. I did note however, a few of them could use...

    PBMG brands 40% off on Autogeek!

    My bad on reporting the incorrect information on the discount. I was later informed that a few of the products that I ordered did not qualify for the discount as the 40% discount was applicable only to specific brands. My apologies if anyone was led astray by my posting.

    PBMG brands 40% off on Autogeek!

    Thank you for the discount Mike...however all AG orders should be reviewed by those submitting orders. My $220+ order (at full regular retail price) failed to calculate the correct discount and I was shorted $19.99. I have requested that the invoice be properly recalculated with the correct...

    Griot's Creams vs Wolfgang's Total Swirl Remover and Polishing Glaze

    One of the other companies (beside AutoGeek) under the Palm Beach Motoring Group had a 2017 chart listing polish and compounds of various products for many manufacturers in order of aggressiveness on a scale of 0 to 10 with 10 the most aggressive. This is very helpful in comparing various...

    Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash original (pink) vs. Wolfgang Sio2 Uber Rinseless Wash (blue)

    I use both during the winter alternating the two. I prefer the Si02 as well, but have a concern about buildup if used more than bi-weekly.

    Durability Test: Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant

    Great test of the sealant and much appreciated. I applied the same to my car about a year ago. I didn't get a chance to test the durability as I sold the car in September...although I washed it a couple of times per month with the WG Si02 wash which I was hoping would make the sealant...

    Drying Towel Scratches

    My black Audi is coated and 10 months out of 12 I blow dry with my leaf blower. I touch up the windows and surrounding trim with a guzzler and touch up the paint with a PFM. Then there's the other two months where I 1) go to a touchless wash to get the snow salt dirt filth off the surface, and...

    PB Bug Squash - Anyone still use it? Especially as a Pre-Wash?

    I use it all the time in the warm months. I always use it diluted 3:1 and spray it on and let it "work" for a couple of minutes before washing. My cars are now coated and I have not noted any degradation of the coating. When I used sealants I did note some minor degrading (more so with...

    Rust prevention undercoatings

    I wasn't aware those services are around anymore...most likely their demise is due to rust prevention improvements by the auto and steel industries. I live in Michigan with plenty of salt on the roads and I haven't used any such undercoating since my 1979 Olds Royale. I usually keep my...

    Window Cleaner Does Not Freeze

    I had some McKees 31 tire protectant that was significantly impacted by near freezing a couple of years ago. It never worked the same after that. there's a lesson for all of us in the north. When it's time to make sure your hose is disconnected from the faucet, it's time to take your...
